Chapter 543: Lumis Past (1) (2/2)

Shortly after, he concluded, ”It seems this should be around the year 118 H.R…”

Year 118 H.R, the year of the Crimson War, the day in which the bodies piled mountains and blood flowed like rivers in humanity's desperate attempt at defending the Great Wall against the beast tide.

Leon remembered his history lessons.

The Crawford Kingdom paid a painful price for their complacency and negligence after enjoying peace and prosperity for a hundred years.

Suddenly picking up the faint stench of blood in the air, Leon slowly shifted his gaze towards the distant western direction.

”It seems the event of the Crimson War is already occurring as I speak…” Leon muttered softly before glancing at the nobles and aristocrats and chattering and laughing in ignorance. ”And yet these people still don't have a clue what is going on.”

Shortly after, Leon shook his head again with a melancholic sigh.

Even in history lessons, the exact death toll of the Crimson War was never mentioned. All he knew was that the Crawford Kingdom experienced a steep plunge in its population.

”Where was Lumi during this time?” Leon pondered with a frown while finding his way towards Lost Isle Alley.

Although it was the location of Lumi's tragedy, it was a start to finding Lumi's whereabouts, her home, and her family during this time period.

Even so, finding Lost Isle Alley was a hassle.

Where there were supposed to be vacant plots of land, there were buildings. And where there were supposed to be blocks of buildings, they were vacant plots of land.

Leon felt like someone was messing with his head as he navigated his way to Lost Isle Alley in accordance with his memory.

After much struggle, he arrived before the entrance of Lost Isle Alley.

”At least these three buildings are exactly the same as I remembered… No surprise there. These buildings were left abandoned and haunted for 400 years.”

While searching the area, Leon frowned.

Before Lost Isle Alley was haunted, it existed under a different name; Gallagher's Hidden Market, as written on the entrance board before him.

However, when Leon searched the depths of his memory, he recalled that Lumi's family name was also Gallagher.

”Considering the Gallagher family is wealthy enough to own this entire area, it's strange that I have not heard of any other existing Gallagher family. Such a prominent family wouldn't just vanish during the past 400 years without a cause.”

Leon furrowed his brows.

”After Gallagher's Hidden Market became the haunted Lost Isle Alley, their properties were sold at low prices to the noble families of the scions that killed Lumi… Of course, these noble families were shortly killed off by Lumi or Duna after, but did they also killed off their own family too?”

While Leon pondered, a weakly young girl suddenly fell to the ground after getting kicked out of the store in front by a fierce man.
